No root required. I believe the issues with foxfi began with the 4.1 update, so you should be fine. Doesn't matter what version the tablet is running, because as far as it knows, it's connecting to any random wireless access point. As long as the app works on your phone, you're good.

Also, not sure if pdanet has the same compatibility as foxfi (though I assume it does), but foxfi says a MAXX running 4.1 doesn't support wifi mode right now, so you might try blue tooth mode if nothing else, just to see if it's a problem on the phone side versus the tablet side.

On your phone, go into your settings and find anything to do with pdanet in the apps submenu & clear data & cache & etc. It may have left corrupted data on your phone even though you uninstalled it. Then, I'd uninstall it again, reboot, & reinstall.

Glad you're up and running now! Not sure that you can restart that whole process, but all your apps are listed in the Play Store. If you swipe to the side, you can see all that you've purchased and downloaded, but you'll have to download them all one by one.

Logging into your account on a computer and going through them might be faster.

The other option would be to do a factory reset if you haven't set up a lot of other stuff and sign in again...
